"Good price, professional, responsive, punctual, and conscientious - I highly recommend Chicagoland Precision Painting.

I was extremely pleased with my experience with Jason at Chicagoland Precision Painting.  He responded to my initial inquiry very quickly and came out the very next day to provide an estimate.  His estimate was very reasonable for the amount of work we needed.  Once we contracted the work, he educated me on the benefits of non-toxic paint which I confirmed with my own research.  I agreed to utilize it and am very happy with the decision.  Jason also provided input on paint colors to accent our fireplaces and I am glad I agreed to follow his advice - they look great!  Finally, Jason and his employee were professional, punctual, and tidy.  The entire job only took about 2.5 days to complete and I've received numerous compliments.  I plan to use them again when I paint 2 additional bedrooms."

"Tom Fox ROCKS! He nailed my vintage flocked wall paper installation in my master closet and down one wall. All of the pieces on the ceiling and down the wall match and you cannot tell where one piece ends and another one begins. Tom also painted my master closet and patched some spots where we had damage previously. I looking forward to having Tom back again when i update my laundry room. You cannot go wrong with Tom."

"We received the quote on 10/13/2014, but we're unable to start the work until 1/23/2015 due to our work and travel schedule. Huber still honored our quote from 3 months prior. He started on a Friday with one other crew member and carefully taped up plastic barriers to prevent the construction dust from spreading. My husband and I were extremely impressed with how much they accomplished on the first day. They laid the first coat of mudding and sanded the master bedroom and bath, they repaired the drywall in the dining and living room including other minor repairs that were not included in the quote without asking for more money. They also removed all the textured drywall from the family room ceiling. The second one day they installed the new drywall in the family room ceiling, including taping and mudding. They also fixed drywall taping in the kitChen ceiling without bumping up the quote. They were prompt each day until the repairs were complete. They were professional and respectful of our home and the quality of work was excellent. Should we have any other repairs, we would not hesitate to use them again!

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.

White walls are considered a classic and timeless look and will most likely always be in style. A white wall easily blends into any type of home decor style which makes it a suitable option for most homeowners. Another appealing quality about white walls is that if it's not a color someone is going for, the color is easy to paint over.

Wallpaper lasts an average of around 15 years, but there is some variance. The type of wallpaper matters, as vinyl wallpaper tends to last the longest—sometimes 20 years or more—while a peel-and-stick wallpaper, which is the easiest to install for DIYers, will usually only last for around five years. Exposure to high humidity, smoke, and UV rays from sunlight can also limit the lifespan of your wallpaper, as can heavy traffic in the installation area.

Yes, most professionals patch and smooth walls after removal to prepare for new finishes.

If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding.
